Body Refinement for Longevity: From Health Cultivation Exercises to Overcoming All Techniques

"Okay, I'll wait for news from my senior sister..."

Chen Qiuyu fled as if he were escaping.

Chen Han watched the direction the woman had left in, 'You should be glad Chen Lei is with you; you won't run into me at the martial arts competition...'

Chen Han had long planned how to shine brightly at the ceremony, defeat all his opponents, and finally settle his personal score by unilaterally beating the woman.

However, things are unpredictable, and the revenge plan changed, so they had to find another opportunity.

Chen Han was somewhat frustrated. He was a very vengeful person, and he couldn't eat or sleep until he got his revenge.

At midnight, he once again came to the big locust tree outside the city, where the black market boy was still standing on the wooden boat waiting as usual.

Chen Han took out ten taels of silver, feeling a pang of regret. Although he was no longer as destitute as before, he was still a poor man.

All ten taels of silver were borrowed from the family on credit.

When it was almost time, Chen Han and the others took a small boat to the black market.

The fog in the black market was thick, obscuring everything ten steps away. It seemed to be due to the changing seasons, and it was much more humid than before.

Chen Han found a shop based on the information Wang Yue had given him from his memory.

The shop was very clean, and the shelves were filled with all sorts of strange and unusual things, including a lifelike beast's eye and a skull that glowed with an eerie light...

"My name is Zhang Hao, you can also call me Zhang Ritian. Come, come, take a look around. Our shop has everything you need, you can find 99% of what you want here."

Chen Han's lips twitched. So, none of the people in this black market have normal names.

The shopkeeper was a young man, who looked no older than Chen Han. He was dressed in fine clothes and his shop was as tidy as the shop itself.

Chen Han couldn't help but think of Aunt Xue'er, who was covered in blood and looked quite filthy. Apart from her long legs, beauty, charm, height, good figure, full breasts, big buttocks, and flirtatious manner, she didn't have much else to offer.

"Whoever marries her in the future is in for a world of trouble."

Returning to the present, Chen Han replied, "I don't have anything I want to buy, I just want the shopkeeper to appraise something."

"Oh? Sure, I traveled all over the country when I was young and have seen a lot, but this price..."

"geometry.."

The shopkeeper chuckled, looking every bit like a shrewd merchant. "Not expensive, only ten taels of silver."

Chen Han's lips twitched violently. "Damn it, this is the black market after all. These shady dealers dare to charge ten taels of silver with just one glance; they're practically robbing us outright."

Chen Han expressed extreme disgust and contempt for this behavior.

"Two ounces, are you interested or not? If not, I'm going to another store."

Chen Han wouldn't indulge him. If this doesn't work, go somewhere else. It's not like this is the only shop that can do authentication.

To his surprise, the shopkeeper revealed a confident expression, making Chen Han wonder if there was something amiss.

"Young man, you don't come here often, do you?"

Chen Han's gaze narrowed slightly. The other party continued, "This place is a mixed bag, and people's hearts are hard to fathom. If you feel comfortable going to other general stores, feel free to go. They might take advantage of your lack of knowledge and rip you off even more than I have."

Moreover, their credibility isn't guaranteed. If you possess any valuable items, they might sell this information, which could potentially lead to your death.

As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow at Chen Han, "And here, I have a good reputation and word of mouth, otherwise the young man who brought you in wouldn't have mentioned my little shop... Ten taels of silver, really not expensive."

Zhang Hao is right; Wang Yue mentioned Zhang Hao when he introduced him to Wang Yue.

He traveled with caravans from a young age, visiting most of the Chu Kingdom, and became familiar with the local customs, unique objects, and secret arts of each place.

"I see... Well then, ten taels it is."

As he spoke, Chen Han took out ten taels of silver and handed it over. The latter accepted it with a smile and said, "Young brother, what do you want to be appraised? Just show it to me."

Chen Han didn't hesitate and immediately took out the second-rate martial arts manual, Thunderclap Extreme.

"oh..."

Zhang Hao took the item and examined it. In just a moment, he had his answer, and a look of understanding appeared on his face.

"This is the main martial art of Benlei Mountain within Soul Heaven City of Yue Kingdom. It is a truly second-rate martial art, but..."

Zhang Hao returned the item to Chen Han, saying, "However, this martial arts manual is only a fragment, with only the first half. The highest level one can reach is the Martial Artist realm. It is not rare, nor is it particularly precious, at least not in the Yue Kingdom."

Is it a fragment?

Chen Han was greatly disappointed after receiving it.

"Since we've met by chance, let me give you a little reminder, young man."

This skill is extremely difficult to master. The cultivation process requires the combined use of several rare medicinal herbs and items; the slightest mistake could result in complete annihilation.

Zhang Hao had expected that these words would instill fear in the man and make him grateful for the information, but to his surprise, the man lowered his eyes, seemingly deep in thought.

Chen Han asked, "How powerful is this Thunderclap Extreme?"

Zhang Hao was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "Very strong... When mastered to its peak, one can move like lightning, run like the wind, and a single hair can affect the whole body; every punch and kick carries the force of thunder!"

"it is good."

Chen Han smiled and then left the place.

In the cramped shop, only Zhang Hao remained, his head bowed as he recalled Chen Han's expression at that moment.

That was clearly a thirst for power, and he believed that this kid was truly fearless enough to dare to try practicing this skill.

"Heh, most people in this world believe they'll be the chosen one, especially hot-blooded young men. This kid seems alright; I hope he won't make a fatal mistake and end up getting electrocuted by himself..."

Chen Han planned to go home, since Li Muyun was still in his small house, and he needed to arrange a place for her as soon as possible; it wasn't a long-term solution for her to stay with him.

Just then, Chen Han passed by Aunt Xue'er's shop and subconsciously glanced inside.

The first thing you see is a tightly closed door.

"Aunt Xue'er isn't at the shop today..."

He didn't pay much attention to it and left the black market directly.

The moon hung in the sky, but the sky was overcast, and the air felt oppressive, as if it were about to freeze.

Just as Chen Han was about to approach the inner city, a figure that left a deep impression on him leaped over the wall from a distance. With incredibly long legs and a height of eight feet, and long hair tied in a low ponytail, it was none other than Aunt Xue'er, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Chen Han's curiosity was piqued, so he immediately lowered his body and followed quietly.

After about fifty breaths, Chen Han stopped.

He was now in a secluded spot in the shadows, quietly watching the two people not far away.

One of them was Aunt Xue'er, who was fair-skinned, beautiful, and had long legs; the other was a small old man with a pointed mouth, monkey cheeks, and a face full of pockmarks.

"Madam Xue, I never imagined it was you who had been watching me all along."

The old man's lecherous eyes scanned Qingxue from head to toe, as if he wanted to tear off her clothes with his gaze. He chuckled strangely as he spoke.

The latter felt a surge of disgust, crossed his arms, and said irritably, "Old man, you stole my bead, didn't you? You dare steal my things? Are you looking for death?"

Qingxue's voice was as cold as ice, her words sharp and sarcastic.

"Looking for death? What are you, you filthy donkey hoof that raises insects? It's your honor that my master has taken a liking to your things. You'd better not look for them again."

The old man rubbed his fingers together, his lewd gaze deliberately lingering on Qingxue's long, slender legs. "How about you serve this old man for a few months, and I'll plead with the adults on your behalf..."

"Old man..."

Qingxue was so angry that she felt like she was going to grind her teeth to powder.

"If you don't give me an explanation today, you can die!"
